Because Photobucket has chosen to in effect "take down" everyone's photos (unless you pay them), we have extended post edit time in the Luthier's Corner to UNLIMITED. If you used photobucket and happen to still have your images of builds, you can go back and fix as many of your posts as far back as you wish.

Note that TalkBass will host unlimited attachments for you, all the time, for free ;) Just hit that "Upload a File" button. You are also free to use our Media Gallery if you want a place to create albums, organize photos, etc :)

Post-NAMM Spector changes - Stuart Spector please!

1. No more Korean neck-throughs.
2. No more OBP-1 on any models.
3. Only Black and Holoflash finishes on the Korean REX shapes.
4. No more Black Cherry finish on US Bolt-ons.
5. Blue and Black stain and Tobacco sunburst now available on Czech models.
6. Performance series now changed to Performer 4.
7. Spectorcore semi-hollows reduced in price.
8. Rebop, Czech and US Bolt-Ons with new Spector active circuit.

Stu, what are the specs on this new circuit? Is it 18V or 9V? Is it the same as your US Neck-Through bass circuits, or is it lower quality? Why no more Aguilar OBP-1?

The "Upgrade" is a 9volt spector tone circut....well i guess its better than the EMG one. as long as i can make it 18volt i'm fine with it. I had a thread on this called "2003 spector UPGRADE?" When i went to the site pre namm and it said that there was an "Upgrade" in the pre-amps of the spector czech made bolt ons, and the rest of them. no more OBP-1 (GREAT 18volt preamp) and that it was changed with a "Spector active tone circut".
